If your Action implements SessionAware, you don't need to make a mock
HttpSession at all. You just make a new HashMap, stuff it with the
values you want, and call action.setSession(). Just one more of the
things I love about Struts 2. :)
But there are libraries around that do allow mock HttpSessions.
Spring was mentioned; MockObjects and Mockrunner each have it, and a
quick google search for "MockHttpSession" reveals plenty of others.
Still, I'd recommend the SessionAware.
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.6/struts2-core/apidocs/org/apache/
struts2/interceptor/SessionAware.html "Note that using this interface
makes the Action tied to a servlet environment, so it should be
avoided if possible since things like unit testing will become more
difficult."
In my experience, however, that's not the case at all. Using
SessionAware, from a unit testing perspective, makes your Action less
dependent on the servlet API, and makes unit testing easier.

Hi,
How do I go about creating a dummy HttpSession object for unit
testing a struts 2 app?
I have created a dummy HttpServletRequest object, but I can't
instanciate an HttpSession in teh Request.getSession() method,
because HttpSession is an abstract interface and I can't create an
instance of it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
